I was recently invited to visit one of my favorite mens skin care brands Lab Series during New York Mens Day at New York Fashion Week Mens. For the third season, LAB SERIES is the official grooming sponsor for New York Men’s Day, a full-day event where twelve designers show simultaneous presentations across two time-slots during NYFWM. LAB SERIES Grooming Director Jodie Boland offered grooming services to designers David Hart and Descendent of Thieves. Models and influencers mingled and played with LAB SERIES products before presentations started. I was so impressed with how welcoming and kind everybody in the LAB SERIES lounge was, we all share a passion for fashion and grooming and LAB SERIES did a terrific job in creating an inspiring and positive environment that reflected that passion.

At NYMD LAB SERIES launched their new 3-in-1 shave & beard oil with the products ambassadors Justin Livingston and Levi Stocke. This oil is ideal for men who shave or need to condition their beards and looking for a product that can deliver an all in one solution for your beard needs. I got the chance to play with the 3-in-1 shave & beard and oil and fell in love with the consistency and Sea Buckthorn Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil blend. The Lab Series 3-in-1 shave & beard oil won’t be released in stores till later this year but you can buy it during Lab Series pre-sale event now!
